After beginning their first two games on the road, the Emporia High Spartans return home to host Topeka High.

Before kickoff begins Lyon County State Bank will be sponsoring Spartan Fest outside of Welch's Stadium. Spartan Fest organizer Brian Douglas looks forward to having the community interact with one another and enjoy all of the activities Spartan Fest has to offer. Douglas says the event will help to amplify the excitement surrounding Friday's game.
